SafeInHome Support in Everyday Living - Milestone HCQU West Blog

SafeinHome’s Remote Supports services are designed to provide added support that helps individuals remain safe, stable, and independent in their everyday living environments. SafeinHome offers 24/7 support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, complementing natural supports such as family and friends, as well as paid support staff—particularly during times when direct, in-person care is not available.

Remote Supports can be delivered to individuals at home or in the community, to those living independently, with family or friends, or within a provider-based setting. Remote Supports are often used to support individuals in achieving identified outcomes, maintaining or establishing daily routines, enhancing independence and safety, and improving overall health and wellness.

SafeinHome’s Remote Supports services are individualized and driven by each person’s needs, as outlined in their service plan. This may include assistance/reminders for daily routines, household organization, wellness/ support calls, and medication reminders when appropriate. Additional support can be provided during periods of change, stress, or increased need, with services remaining flexible and adjustable over time to align with evolving goals, skills and needs.

Planning is person-centered and developed in collaboration with the individual, and when appropriate, their family and providers. This ensures remote supports are meaningful, effective, and aligned with both the individual’s needs, preferences, and their living environment. Plans are reviewed regularly to maintain relevance and impact.

Remote Supports services are designed to complement existing services, working with family members, caregivers/DSPs, and/or residential staff to promote consistency and coordination of care. Remote supports often fill in as an available resource for support when in the absence of in-person support. When appropriate, services may also support safe and supported community access.

Overall, SafeinHome offers flexible, practical support that promotes safety, stability, and independence, helping individuals successfully remain in the homes and communities they choose. Learn more at https://www.safeinhome.com.
